Gaza Building Collapse Kills 14
The collapse of a residential building that housed internally displaced persons in the Industry Area south of Gaza resulted in 14 deaths, including children and women, and left 25 others injured, with around 100 people missing or trapped under the rubble. The building, which had six floors and was previously damaged by Israeli shelling, collapsed overnight while the residents were sleeping, leading to a new humanitarian disaster in the sector. Rescue teams have been working for hours to extricate those trapped amid challenging field conditions, as the operation requires heavy equipment and additional resources, which could take more than three days. Many buildings in the area have also been damaged, amid international and domestic calls for providing equipment and securing alternative shelter before the winter season, especially given the shortages of fuel and medical supplies. Israel and the international community bear responsibility for the continuation of the crisis.
